Leveling my 2000 TRD Tacoma

B

BRW

Hey can anyone help! Im really confused, trying to get my 2000 Toyota Tacoma level. I put some overload springs a few years ago, to help carry my camper, now the back end is super high and my front end is really really low. I was thinking of putting on a 2.5 leveling kit, would that do the job? Also if I have 31x10.5x15 stock rims and tires, could I get away with 32X10.5X15 tires?
I have never done anything like this before, I dont want my truck to look this way anymore. Also if anyone knows how much this would cost to have done at a shop would be a big help. Anyone know a reputable shop that could do this kind of work, or anyone with a personal shop want to get some work. I am trying to have this done by end of Dec.
 
I would get some Bilstein adjustable 5100s and set them at 1.25" if that would be enought to level you or 2.5" if not. Jack-It had them for 85.00 awhile ago but everywhere online they are 150.00 so not sure how much they go for now. They can also install them if you are not handy with tools. If not they are a piece of cake to do and Autozone rents a spring compressor for free that is redesigned and totally safe unless you do something stupid. You can fit a 32 10.50 with 1.25" or even stock since the stock 265 70 16 or 265 75 15 are bigger on the actual height than most 31 10.50 anyways. If you go with 2.5" then you can fit a 33 10.50 with little or no rubbing.

I like the looks of the back higher in the front. When you're loaded, it levels out, rather than having a dragging butt. I'll never understand the "prerunner look" with the front all high.
Anyway, thats irrelevant. As for fixing your problem... What's your budget? There are some relatively cheap front spacer lifts (like Toytec or Allpro), and there are some high dollar, very nice longer travel suspension options (like Camburg and Total Chaos). On the cheaper end, you should be able to do it yourself fairly easily.

As for the tires, yes you can get away with 33"s fairly easily.
 
I have a TRUXXX 3" front only leveling kit for a TACO. I paid $250??? ish for it, and we ended up not running it on my wifes runner. I'd like to get around $125 out of it. Most of the cheap kits are just poly, this one is all steel and powdercoated. I have helped put these on a couple buddies trucks, and they have really liked them. Huge difference in looks. PM me if interested
